Hi, Recently I've been feeling very down about my weight. I have always had really thick legs a small waist and big hips, always!! Well not the hips so much but always the legs ever since I was little. I'm 13 and I am 129 lbs. I am about 5 ft 3 inches. I have had to fit my eating habits around my little brother who for almost three years couldn't have any milk at all. My mum used to work in Holland and Barrett so we had LOADS of health food and I practically lived on it. But then when I got to about 10 I got so jealous of my friends because they had crisps and chocolate and white bread in their lunches and I had fruit bars apples and granary bread..... So I started buying my own food but they stayed skinny and I gained loads of weight :/ My family are walkers not runners. I can walk for miles at a very fast Pace but when it comes to running...well I'm just about last in most races! Please I need your honest opinion and could you please give me some ideas on how to lose a bit of weight thanks :) pictures: http://profile.imageshack.us/user/bethyexe?n=y

You are average. Your not fat by any means. Its important to be healthy, just eat healthy and exercise. Your a beautiful young lady.
5 :
I think you're beautiful, face like an angel. Are you fit and healthy? Can you walk up flights of stairs without gasping and shop off the rack? Then you're fine-- love yourself.

Are you guys above me for real? "a big medium"?? "fat?" Hun you're 5'3 and 129lbs! thats just about perfect! But start watching what you eat, otherwise you may start to put a lot more weight on. Crisps, chocolate and white bread are lethal. Get back to that holland and barratt food miss! Im 16, 5'4, 133lbs. I too have HUGE hips and thick legs (thighs anyway). But thats all part of being a woman. As you get older, you'll realise boys prefer a womanly figure - with hips and thighs! They don't want some skinny, stick-shaped boy! And you probably still have yet to have your growth spurt, so I wouldn't worry too much at the moment. Especially at your age. I only started slimming down at 15, i used to be 151lbs at 14 years old! Just try to make sure you don't go down that road.... it's not nice! xxx

Even if your friends are eating junk food that doesn't mean you need to. If all your friends started playing with guns, would you? Honestly, (regardless of your weight) ask yourself this, "When did I feel better (physically and psychologically), when I was eating healthy food or now when I'm eating junk?" The point is, you have to do what you know is best for your own body. Your friends may not gain weight now, but they are making more fat cells with each bite of chocolate they take, so before too long, it'll catch up to them. If you start eating healthy food again (which I promise will make you feel really good), when your friends start to get fat (which they will), you will be the skinny one! :)

On the last pic. u looked a little chubby.. but seriously its not a problem. everyone worries about their figure and there is no need to... I worry about it all the time and i know i shouldn't but that is just how the human mind works... i am 13yo 5'5 and i weigh 130lbs? i think and yeah it changes like everyday... :/ not one of my favorite things in the world.. and if you r truely concerned just do a few situps every night or anything that will help you in the long run (just stay active... i'm havin trouble with that lol...)
